About our translators.

Italian version translated by

Andrea E. Salvi M.D. Brescia, Italy

I am an orthopedic surgeon and
I am frequently involved in human sufferance.I am an orthopedic surgeon working in the outskirts of Brescia, ItalyI am 40 years old.I am a member of Rotary International, Dalmine Centenario Club (Rotary
District 2040).

I know
from my own experience what it is like to have suicidal thoughts and it is
important to realize that these thoughts are just a part of natural human
experience. It is also important to be able to express your feelings and
thoughts freely and have the support of family or friends. I'd want
everyone, who goes through such a stage in life, to feel and understand that
life is actually the most wonderful gift that can happen to us (even though
sometimes it doesn't seem so), and there are so many options and
possibilities to deal with any difficult situations we encounter which are
not to punish us, but to make us better and stronger. I sincerely believe
that this guide will be of great help to those who need it.

I have been interested in suicide rates
especially in turbulent times such as war. Also, I am training
as a translator. And finally, I feel that I would like to
contribute in helping vulnerable people of this world, as the
modern life has become unbearable for many people.

Suicide is an important public health
problem. It led to numerous death over the pass decades, which
makes suicide prevention significantly necessary. When I was in
middle school, I experienced a difficult time due to my
individual personality. I was extremely depressed and
pessimistic. If all of it just pushes me a little harder, I
wouldn't be here explaining why preventing suicide is important
to me. I genuinely hope those who has had or is having suicidal
thoughts have the opportunity to save their own lives, explore
the beauty of life and have faith in it.
